She then said oh we played phone tag I'm like ummmm you called me once. We made an apt to tour the school but I didn't even go because I just didn't feel good about it.

Because of the heart and dedication of the teachers, my son is and eager and capable learner- both emotionally and academically. Over the year and a half that my son was there, he gained independence, learned how to interact and communicate with others, and gained knowledge that will support him in learning for years to come. He can crack an egg better than me, clean up after himself, initiate play with his peers, identify continents and sound out words at 4 years old. The most important and memorable part of Mountainview are all the Spring and Winter performances, the daily updates and words of encouragement from the teachers at pick up/drop off, and the special events, such as the reptile show, Splish Spash day, and more. The year round education was so beneficial to his learning and maintain consistency in our family's schedule. I was so proud and sad to see my son graduate but because of his experience, he walked into his first day of TK with confidence. I can't wait until my next child is ready to start Mountainview!

Our experience with Mountain View Montessori has been nothing short of incredible. From the very…read morebeginning, we felt a sense of warmth, intention, and genuine care that truly sets this school apart. The environment they've created is calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed to support each child's independence and curiosity. It has been such a joy to watch our daughter grow in confidence, develop a love for learning, and feel so safe and at home in her classroom. The Montessori approach is beautifully honored, children are respected, guided, and encouraged in a way that feels both empowering and deeply supportive. We especially want to give a heartfelt shoutout to all of the amazing staff, and to Ms. Rola, Ms. Nina, and most especially her teacher, Ms. Avery. They are truly incredible, genuine people with such a clear passion for children and learning. The care, patience, and intention they bring every single day does not go unnoticed. It means the world to us as parents to know our daughter is surrounded by such kind, attentive, and inspiring educators. We are beyond grateful to be part of the Mountain View Montessori community. It is a truly special place filled with heart, and one we will always look back on with so much appreciation and love.

We were sooo hesitant to send our daughter, who always had a nanny to school. I am so happy and feel so safe with her at school. 1. Longevity - one of the teachers there attended this preschool herself! You don't see turnover here. The teachers are in it for the long haul. This business has been around 20+ years and is wonderful. 2. Passion - the teachers are sooo passionate and kind to the kids. Ask any of them what they like to do, they will go on and on about switching the activities / curriculum to the kids interests like if the kids are really liking space they will make their "work"the kids activities) space themed. You can feel the teachers genuinely love being around the kids and genuinely love teaching 3 - Engaging Each Friday they have a Mr. B come and play music for all the kids to dance and sing to. Each week my daughter seems to come home with a new craft. Daily she is able to draw a picture by taking out her own materials and putting them all back herself every day. 4 - Independence if you're interested in Montessori, you like teaching them independence and Yeung it's. It's been amazing to see my daughter progress with her independence. She will go and wash her hands after her meals. She is able to take out her snacks and put them back. It's been wonderful to cultivate her independence only two years old. She literally just got me a drink out of the fridge and grabbed herself one too. She is so sweet and independent. 5 Potty training - The school also offers potty training, which is really awesome for parents. Pictured is our class field trip. The kids got learned a lot and received live lady bugs and parents got a tote & coffee mug!

It's warm, inviting, and just really genuine. The teachers are amazing. A lot of them have been there for decades, which says everything about how much they love what they do and where they are. Our kids have always been safe, clean, cared for, and truly seen. They've gotten to try so many things and participate in dance, athletics, art, and at the same time they're guided academically with patience and encouragement. Both of our kids went to MSA and really thrived. We've also made lifelong friends through the school, which has been an unexpected bonus. We're super grateful for our time there and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a loving, down-to-earth environment for their kids.

My son has made wonderful friendships with children who have grown right alongside him, and it has been amazing to watch. The teachers put so much heart, dedication, and genuine care into what they do every day, and it shows. A special thank you to Miss Jonnay! She has been an incredible teacher to my son, and I am so grateful for the care and attention she gives him. She keeps me updated, celebrates his successes, and truly understands him. Over the last couple of months, I've seen such a big change in him, he's grown in confidence, understanding, and independence. It means so much to have someone who spends her days with him, notices these milestones, and genuinely cares about his development. The support she provides feels like having a second mother in his corner. Miss Tressa has created such a special place for children to learn, explore, and experience their first years of education. This school is truly a hidden gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found it and to be part of this community. If you're considering this school, I encourage you to visit and meet the staff. You'll quickly see how passionate, caring, and dedicated they are. We couldn't be more grateful for the love and support our family has received here.

Editing to recognize certain teachers:…read more I have gone back and forth for over a year about writing this review. Parents deserve to know what we experienced before trusting this school with their children. Our experience started off well. Like every daycare, there were minor issues here and there, and we gave the school grace because no childcare center is perfect. The problem wasn't that mistakes happened. The problem was that the mistakes kept getting more serious, and every concern was met with excuses, denial, or an attempt to make us feel like we were overreacting. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts and left much sooner. One of our first major concerns happened in the infant room. My daughter came home with bleach stains all over her pants. The teacher admitted they had sprayed bleach on her high chair, forgot to wipe it down, and then placed my infant in it. That should never happen. Then came something even more alarming. I picked up my infant one afternoon, and she screamed hysterically from hunger the entire drive home. I checked Brightwheel because I assumed someone had simply forgotten to log her bottles. Instead, I discovered there were no bottle entries because they had not fed her formula all day. Not a missed log..a missed feeding. As a parent, that is terrifying. Then there were the coyote issues. Coyotes were coming right up to the school fence and parents even photographed a coyote standing right outside the children's fence (see attached). Tressa's response? Cayenne pepper around the perimeter. It took months of parents pushing before only one small section of fencing was raised. To this day, much of the fence remains low. Another issue involved mold. The children's play couch had mold covering the bottom. Rather than simply acknowledging the problem and informing parents of mold exposure, the initial response was that it "might be black paint." Parents know what mold looks like. Cleanliness was another ongoing concern. My children routinely came home with dried food on their faces, dirty hands, and crusted noses. This wasn't dirt from outdoor play. They simply weren't being cleaned throughout the day. My children were constantly sick while attending this school. The final straw was something I still cannot believe happened. My daughter came home wearing the exact same diaper I put on her that morning. It was soaked, sagging, cold, and hanging to her knees. I immediately contacted Tressa. Rather than investigating what happened, her first response was that another child also wore Coterie diapers and the teachers must have accidentally used someone else's diaper. That explanation fell apart almost immediately. Coterie prints a unique quality-control code on every diaper in a package. The diaper my daughter came home wearing had the exact same code as the open package sitting in my house. It was the diaper I put on her that morning. Only after I sent photographs proving it did the apologies begin. That was the day I reported the school to Community Care Licensing. Despite all of this, I want to recognize the people who made our experience better. Ms. Chandler, Ms. Jonnay, Ms. Jenn, and Ms. Debbie are wonderful educators who genuinely love children, and my daughters adored them. I also want to acknowledge that my daughters loved Ms. Tressa as well. My criticism is not about whether Tressa cares about children. I believe she does. My criticism is about leadership. Running a preschool requires more than caring about kids. It requires accountability, transparency, and the ability to admit when something went wrong and fix it. Instead, I consistently felt dismissed. Concerns were minimized. Excuses came before accountability. I was repeatedly made to feel like I was simply a difficult parent for raising legitimate health and safety concerns. An experienced director once worked at the school and made noticeable improvements because she accepted responsibility and addressed problems head-on. I truly believe the school would benefit tremendously from hiring an experienced director and allowing that person to manage the day-to-day operations. Tressa, if you're reading this, this review isn't being written because mistakes happened. Every school makes mistakes. This review exists because of how those mistakes were handled. Your response to concerns was almost always to deny, minimize, or explain them away instead of simply acknowledging them and making meaningful changes. My daughters are thriving at their new school. Every teacher they've had at ANY school has described them as kind, respectful, and a joy to have in class. They weren't the problem. I wasn't the problem. Parents raising concerns about children's health and safety are not the problem. I sincerely hope this school improves because the children deserve it. But until accountability becomes a priority, I cannot recommend that families entrust their children to this daycare.

Finding quality infant care that doesn't feel impersonal yet still offers resources beyond a home daycare is nearly impossible, but Partners in Learning achieves this balance beautifully. Our daughter started in the infant room at 8 months old, and at 16 months, she's thriving. Every morning, she lights up when she sees Ms. V and never leaves in the afternoon without blowing a sweet kiss to Ms. P. The love and genuine care these teachers show is truly heartwarming, and it's clear they play an important role in her development and happiness. I also appreciate the cozy sleep area, which creates a slightly separate environment for rest vs play, and the wonderful outdoor playground designed specifically for children under 2--it's a perfect space for safe exploration and play. Additionally, Ms. Marion, the director, has been working hard to thoughtfully incorporate parent feedback and implementing meaningful improvements that enhance the school. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful start they're providing our daughter!

Ms. Robin, the preschool director, is phenomenal. From our first visit to campus she made us feel welcome and comfortable. I was so impressed that she knew every student and parent walking around as we visited. To this day, she still knows everyone who passes through the gates of WHPS Collins. She is always available for questions, to discuss any concerns, is an incredible support for the teachers and is actively engaged with the school's programs and students' development. We first had Ms. Monica and Ms. Zulay and now have Ms. Kathy and Ms. Candy as teachers. They are INCREDIBLE. The teachers tailor their teaching styles and content to the students in their class and their interests. My daughter is an observer and the teachers have helped push her a bit outside of her comfort zone and she has grown so much over the past two years. There are a ton of extracurricular activities that families can opt into. We've done dance, Spanish, tiny stem, soccer, and tennis. We've also done the summer camp at WHPS. It is a bit of an extension of the school year but with lots of fun water experiences. There is a pool with a lifeguard and available swim lessons. The Parent Association Group (PAG) is highly involved. So many fun experiences like a Halloween parade and Snow Day as well as cultural celebrations like Lunar New Year and Holi. Also, the school is incredibly safe. Double entrance doors which is right in front of the director's office. Codes and sign-ins required by all. Great relationships with LAFD and LAPD who respond quickly if there were to be any concerns. Also, they do a number of drills that are age appropriate for the students. I know it can be scary to discuss drills at such a young age, but it is necessary. With so many preschool opportunities in the west Valley, we were in a bit of a decision paralysis until we got to WHPS Collins. It was an easy choice and we are so glad our daughter has had such a great experience.

The teachers truly tune into the needs of each individual child while also creating a warm and connected classroom environment. They are patient, nurturing, and deeply kind. At every pickup I'm greeted with a huge smile and can immediately tell she's had an amazing day. She always leaves with her cup full after spending time with her friends and teachers. We feel so grateful that our daughter got to spend these early childhood years at Wildflower, and I know the memories and foundation they've given her will stay with her for a very long time.
